This invention relates to a new and improved method of constructing belting, or-traces,'o r othenstraps, now mede of' leather on-ly, or ouny one nxhterinl, whereby-tbe strength 'olf the salme is grcstly increasedf' l `It ,consists of u thin luier of steelor other, suitable metal, cemented betweentwo vlayers of leathr .or otheer suitable r'nnteriul, of less width' than 's eidflayers,y so that said nletfillie layer moy be securely fastened by the edges oi'. the-straps bein-g sewedtogetheiff In the aecompunyingdrawing's-f' Y Figure 1 represents -n'longitudinul section of my invention, tn-ken in, tberlinie z x', iig. 2.

A. is the heiter-trawl v l l l a in oneof the layers or sti-eps of leather. 'e is the othenleyer or'strup of leather.'4

a is a strip or plate, of steel'b/r other metal, between the' layer aY und the layer e. S are the stitches, by m'esris of which the ports or ly'ers a and eerefsewed together. R are rivets, by means of which-all 'the parts are sceuredftogetber: The belting or truce'A. is constructed of three parts or lsyers, a a e. The port or lyer q and the part or layer e are of leather, or other suitable msteriul, 'the same 'as'nowviu common use. vvBetween *tbe part a and the part is n thin sheetor layer 'of `steelor other metal, a', either tempered orfnot.- Suid'sheet or layer is mede narrowrtben .the parts or layers between 4which 'the same isA placed, so that two puits or layers al ende maybe sewed together without passing the stitches through the metallic layer'a, leaving tbemetnllic-ly'er af between the rows of stitches o n either edge Vof the belt or traceA, and also between the two 'parts 'd and e, es shown in the drawing, and as above described. i

n -Said inetallic sheet or layer af; is cemented to the perte, or layers a und e by'any eommon cement, so that the saine `isprevrented from working between the parts a aride. Still-.further'to secure the seme, ull. thepu'rts are firmly riveted together by the rivets es shown in the drawing. l

The 'advantages of the above eonstru-ttionover baiting o ritmces now-in use are, that theV strengtbof the same is thereby greatly in'cieased, und the" hooks used for fcs'teningtwo'endsiof e belt together, are not liable,
